Does genome rearrangement enable adaptation in times of environmental change?

Chief Investigator

This project aims to investigate the role of genomic rearrangement in adaptation of marine animals during times of rapid past environmental change. By employing long-read genomic sequencing, powerful demographic analyses, and eco-evolutionary modeling this project expects to generate new knowledge regarding the impact of structural variation on population persistence during future environmental change. Expected outcomes of this project include models of future scenarios including climate change and the consequences of proposed genomic interventions. This should provide significant benefits for informing management interventions including assisted gene flow and assisted evolution.
